Best Picard Yell!

[Red Ranger]

People:

OK, while Riker is more known for his over-the-top yells, Picard has had his fair share of them, too. Let us now reminisce about these exclamations, shall we?

The first two that come to mind are:

-My favorite, from Chain of Command, Pt. II, he has the last word with Madred, when he yells, "THERE . . . ARE . . . FOUR . . . LIGHTS!" (That's my current signature -- are you surprised it's my favorite?)

-From Yesterday's Enterprise, my second favorite, when Guinan is trying to convince Picard he has to send the Enterprise-C back in time, and she's saying he has to trust her, he hollers, "NOT GOOD ENOUGH, DAMNIT! NOT GOOD ENOUGH!"

Oh, there are so many!

'First Contact's 'NOOOOOOO!' when he breaks his 'little ships'....and in the same movie, with a Tommy Gun on the holodeck, blasting Borgified crewmembers away....

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

While I'm not a huge fan of Insurrection, I must say, I like: "HOW MANY DOES IT TAKE, ADMIRAL?!?!?"

 

[jamestyler]

I'd go for the court scenes in Measure of a Man. Maybe not so much yelling, but definatly some raised voices.

That or the whole line drawing moment.

There are loads but my top 2 are:

''All hands abandon ship,Repeat, all hands abandon.... '' in Cause and effect

and ''We can't leave now we have to save humanity'' In all good things (Future Picard)

 

[The Squire of Gothos]

In one episode (can't remember which one or to whom he said it) he declared something to be "Barbaric". That one got a nod of approval from a mate and I when watching it.

Yes, I remember that one! It's from the ep where this civilization steals several gifted children from Enterprise, including Wesley, because they can't procreate. Picard is outraged, and he says, "You claim to be a civilized world, yet you've just commited an act of UTTER BARBARITY!" A good early Picard yell! -- RR

''All hands abandon ship,Repeat, all hands abandon.... '' in Cause and effect

Seconded, in fact the very yell went through my mind the instant I saw the topic title

One of his best Yell Moments ever.

My personal favorite is from First Contact, "The line must be drawn Heyar!" That whole bit. Powerful, powerful. Brilliantly played.
I also like - not so much a howl as a strong lecture - "There can be no justice, so long as laws are absolute. Life itself is an excersize in exceptions," from Justice. A highly mediocre/flawed episode, but I thought that bit was strong and timely.
And the whole mind-meld part in Sarek.

All of my favourites have already been mentioned, apart from: "Let's move these people OUT!"

I'm not sure which episode it is, I've got a feeling it's season one or two though:

"NOOOOO! YOU are... OUT of your MIND!" Taking a couple of cues from the Shat there, I think

Isn't one of his first lines in the entire series a yell? "SHUT OFF THAT DAMN NOISE".

It's not a yell, but it's not a thread without it: "Shut up, Wesley"

Could you be thinking of the end of the season three episode 'Captain's Holiday' where Picard yells at Vash? He thinks she is going to endanger herself by going to Sarthong Five and yells, "You are . . . out of your mind! The Sarthongians are merciless to trespassers!"

Warmest Wishes,
Whoa Nellie

"DON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

- Season 3 with that episode with Sarek.

 

[Charlie Kelly]

A classic YTMND that is perfect for this thread.

"Did she not even pick up one piece of trash?"

 

[Darth_Pazuzu]

"DON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

- Season 3 with that episode with Sarek.

Damn! I was going to mention that one...

Well, that whole scene of him in his quarters experiencing the ravaging of Sarek's emotions and being comforted by Beverly ought to qualify, but I just can't quite remember it word for word...

"You've already betrayed your people, Admiral! You've made your choices, sir! You're a traitor! Now, if the bitter taste of that is unpalatable to you, I am truly sorry, but I will not risk the lives of my crew because you think you can dance on the edge of the Neutral Zone."
